About this recipe

Pinch, punch, it’s the first of the month: the Christmas Punch cocktail is ready to be unveiled at the advent of the winter season. Weather the storm of terrible cocktails for one that combines festive sherry with delicious Captain Morgan, and a clove-studded orange slice on top.
Yes, you’ll have a merry sherry time with this Christmas Punch: Yule not want to try anything else. Cut open an orange, and insert individual cloves into a slice for that classic, aromatic Christmas combination. Inhale the mix of subtle spice and citrus as you sip, moving on to the delicious, rich rum and sherry that’s perfectly balanced by a mix of sweet-sour lemon and honey.
You can create this Christmas Punch well ahead of time, making it perfect for parties. Multiply the quantities by about 20 to fill a punch bowl – and instead of shaking to combine the honey with the rum, blend gently in a pan. The clove and orange flavours can then meld with the rum and sherry – just add fresh lemon juice and sparkling water at the last minute to taste.
Then decorate the bowl with tinsel or some holly – or even mistletoe to get a special thank you from your guests. Honey, I’ve found a great cocktail!
